- Hitman: Absolution is coming to iOS and Android! - 31 July 2025
Our friends at Feral Interactive have some news for you! Branded a traitor and hunted by the Agency he once served, Agent 47 returns to iOS and Android this autumn in Hitman: Absolution. Building on the success of 2024’s Blood Money — Reprisal, Absolution is the compelling next instalment, shining a spotlight on Agent 47’s character and revealing that he is more than just a number. Stealth meets modernised combat to make ‘going loud’ as satisfying as keeping to the shadows — turning each of Absolution’s 20 missions into an assassin’s playground. Expertly adapted for mobile play, Absolution’s sleek touchscreen controls offer 47’s hallmark precision, with gamepad and keyboard & mouse support included for the full AAA experience on the go.
- The original Baldur's Gate leads Prime Gaming July free games roster - 27 June 2024
Baldur's Gate 3 unquestionably led the conversation in 2023. The standout Larian Studios RPG masterfully weaves the classes and settings of Dungeons and Dragons into a gripping, choice-driven story packed with memorable characters. But Larian's appointment for the role was long-considered, given the reputation of the franchise as some of the best PC games ever made, and now you can get the definitive release of the first, BioWare-developed, game in the series as a free game if you subscribe to Prime Gaming in July.

- Hitman: Absolution on 'Purist' difficulty leaves you with just a crosshair. Good luck with that - 21 April 2021
I count myself as a hard wearing individual: I can drink black tea without grimacing, my Moomin hot water bottle only stays warm for half the night, and I take my rice pudding without jam, but even I'm balking at the hardest difficulty setting conceived by IO Interactive for Hitman: Absolution: no guides, no help, no interface, just a crosshair. We've got details on the other four settings too; we're certainly being given a lot of choice. Read the rest of the story...

- Hitman Absolution Facebook app pulled after just a few hours online: allowed you order hits on friends for their "small tits" - 21 April 2021
Square Enix pulled a controversial Facebook app for Hitman Absolution within hours of it going live after it was pointed out to them that it was a barely veiled tool for cyber bullying. You could use the app to send a private video to a Facebook friend showing Agent 47 killing them - using their profile picture and imposing it over a video template. Along with the video, you would select a reason for sending the hit and pick a physical attribute of your friend that 47 could use to identify them: one example would be having your friend killed because they were cheating on their partner and could be identified by their "small tits". Square Enix swiftly issued an apology and pulled the app from their site and Facebook. More on this below. Read the rest of the story...

- It's Hitman's 20th anniversary, so here are 20 facts about the silly stealth sim - 19 November 2020
Hitman: Codename 47 was released 20 years ago today. In all that time, IO Interactive have crafted an entertaining seven-game series (not including spin-offs), with the eighth aiming for the heart in January 2021 . The subject matter might be grim, but from the very first game, IO Interactive were always happy to fold information and easter eggs into their immersive sim (don’t @ me) to a ridiculous degree. The games all have murderdeathkills, but they also have hauntings, mythical creatures, and real-world actors as targets. I’ve had a blast digging up some forgotten facts and 47’s more bizarre moments (this does mean this list contains some spoilers, so beware). There are so many that this could have been 200 facts for 20 years, but I stuck with 20. It seemed right. Enjoy! (more…)

- Hitman s humour evolved because of 47 s penchant for disguises - 23 November 2018
In the best possible way, the Hitman series is ridiculous. Its protagonist, Agent 47, is the single most conspicuous person in any crowd. He s big and bald and white with a bar code prominently tattooed to the back of his head, and not once does this fact deter him from his preferred method of infiltration: wearing a disguise. These aren t disguises in the elaborate, Mission: Impossible, we ll give you an entire fake head sense. No, 47 simply throws on the clothes of whatever guard or unfortunate bystander he s subdued. And this actually works. In the franchise s fiction, he s considered one of the most dangerous people in the entire world, the best of the best. This imposing figure who scarcely bothers to alter his body language, let alone his voice, is a master of disguise. Like its 2016 predecessor, Hitman 2 is quite aware that this concept is absolute nonsense. (more…)

- Hitman: The Joy Of Cocking Up - 10 March 2016
Any time a new Hitman game rolls around, I need to know the answer to one question: can I royally screw basically everything up and get away with it? Not for me the Silent Assassin, but more a series of pratfalls, murders performed inadvertently in plain sight, panicked costume changes and awkward scuffles, inevitably culminating in a desperate sprint to the exit with a chain of armed and extremely angry guards pursuing me. So I am delighted to discover that the new Hitman game supports this kind of rolling disaster. I even managed to complete a mission which began with me choking a man unconscious in front of roughly 200 people who I somehow hadn’t realised were watching me. …
- Hitman Aims For Freedom But Misses The Mark - 10 February 2016
After Hitman: Absolution , Agent 47 is in need of another subtitle. Redemption, perhaps, or Contrition. His upcoming adventure has already made headlines thanks to its now-confirmed episodic release schedule but it also seemed to be a game made with the awareness that the previous hadn’t given fans of the series quite what they wanted. I was eager to get my hands on it after seeing a promising demo at Gamescom last year and now that I have, I’m in two minds. Hitman contains just about everything I want from the series but all of the ingredients have become a little muddled. …
- Improvisation, Experimentation And Dark Comedy: Hitman Is Coming Home - 10 August 2015
Absolution might be a fitting tag for what looks like a return to form and a casting off of the sins of the past, but since that subtitle’s already taken, I’m hoping I’ll be able to justify referring to this one as Hitman : Redemption . So far, the signs are good. I spent some time in the company of IO Interactive’s studio head, Hannes Seifert, as he played through a mission set at a Paris fashion show. As he manipulated NPCs behaviour and demonstrated some emergent possibilities, Seifert said all the right things about recovering the best of the series’ past. The game – this portion of it at least – backs him up convincingly. It’s looking good. …
- Agent $4.99: Mobile Spin-Off Hitman GO Now On PC, Kinda - 29 April 2015
We have Opinions about Absolution, the most recent Hitman game, ’round these parts. Opinions which not everybody shares, but everybody should because famously we’re always 100% Objectively Correct in all things. Despite some grasping at greatness, it seemed a disservice to Hitman as we knew it. Meanwhile, in Mobileland , whispers spread that there was, in fact, a pretty great latter-day Hitman. Its name was Hitman GO, it looked lovely , and it was a sort of stealth-themed sliding block puzzle which looked like a miniatures wargame. Though mechanically very different to any Hitman game, as I understand it Go nonethless conjures up a lot of their spirit – perhaps more so than 2012’s Absolution was. It was also acclaimed as something of an original. Sadly, it was banished to portables. Until now: suddenly, it’s on PC . There is, alas, a catch. …

The jokes that endear us to Surgeon Simulator that QWOP-like surgery is hard, that throwing a heart into an open chest cavity qualifies as…
